1.(2) WECSA secures funding associated with the Conditional Grant from DCAS through the Western Cape Sport Confederation for executing its activities in accordance with the South African Sports Academies Strategic Framework and Policy Guidelines of 2013, as outlined by SASCOC. This framework delineates the essential, needs-based services to be delivered and as a result WECSA operates as an independent, autonomous non-profit organization. While DCAS is a stakeholder in WECSA, it holds no operational or structural responsibility. For precise, firsthand information, it is advisable to approach WECSA directly.
